skidl could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official skidl docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.
The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/xesscorp/skidl/issues.
If you are proposing a feature:
- Explain in detail how it would work.
- Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
- Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)
Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up skidl for local development.
Fork the skidl repo on GitHub.
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/skidl.git
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ mkvirtualenv skidl $ cd skidl/ $ python setup.py develop
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you're done making changes, auto-format your code and check that your changes pass the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ black skidl tests setup.py $ python setup.py test $ tox
To get black, and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:
$ git add . $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes." $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
To run a subset of tests:
$ python -m unittest tests.test_skidl
